iPhone 17 Pro Max is slow to download original photos from iCloud
I received my new iPhone 17 Pro Max on September 19th and immediately set it up using iCloud restore. I’ve always kept my original photos on my phone, and I currently have 54,000 of them in the iCloud. It’s been 13 days since it started downloading the originals, and I still have 33,000 photos left to go.
This is significantly slower than my previous phone upgrades. Every year I’ve upgraded to a new phone, and the photo downloading usually took a maximum of 2 to 3 nights.
I work from home with a solid ubiquity WiFi and a avg isp speed of 1Gig. My phone never gets below 40%. And I’ve never turned on or hit low power mode. I have the 2TB phone. Plenty of storage.
Has anyone else experienced slow original photo downloads on their new iPhone?
